The Limerick County Pike Anglers were back on home turf for the latest leg of their league as subsiding water levels enabled them to fish on the River Shannon for the first time in a while. 16 anglers hit the banks for the excursion, including a couple of new members on their first outing. And one of those newbies hit the banks running with a nice 6lb fish that was landed in no time at all. Then there was a double hook-up a little way down the bank, and the lads had obviously found a few fish on the feed. All three fish were in or around the 6lb mark, so the competition was tight.

Fishing was steady during the day, with an odd fish being landed and others lost at the net, but one angler kept his foot on the gas as Johann Jordan proved to be the most consistent angler, amassing a total of 25lb 13oz, well ahead of Tommy in second place with 9lb. Junior angler Thomas broke his PB with a fine fish of 12lb to make the day a memorable one for him.
